It’s hard to get noticed when you have a purely instrumental band, but that’s one of the many beauties of funk (and blues). This funk band uses a lot of percussion and Afrobeats to infect people with their talent. Budos records in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and perform quite often in the city apparently. After listening to the entire album, I’d say they have a heavy Spanish influence, which usually doesn’t mix well with funk, but what do I know. I’m just an Italian boy from the suburbs talking about the blues. Enjoy your evenings.
